Five Things Every WMU Freshman (And Dr. Montgomery) Should Know

A brand new WMU school year is about ready to start. And there are some things that every new WMU student should know. And since WMU President, Dr. Edward Montgomery is new, this is for him, too. Pay attention. All these things are important and will benefit you greatly during your time at Western Michigan University.

1. Know the Words to the Fight Song. (The campus chapel's bells play it every hour, so practice often)

2. If you want to pass your final exams, pour water on the Whale. Located near Everett Tower and Rood Hall, some poo-pooh it as a superstition, but do you really want to take a chance?
